Elton answered Hunter's question by launching an attack, and Hunter felt a slight pain in his chest.When he looked down, he realized that there was a bloody hole in his chest, while Elton seemed to be holding something in his hand. It was moving. It was Hunter's heart!"You…" Before Hunter could finish, he swayed slightly and fell heavily to the ground.Lyanna looked sympathetically at Hunter, who was lying in a puddle of blood, and she said to Sebastian, "My lord, the spell has been broken."Lyanna's figure disappeared instantly."Sebastian, didn't you want to get revenge for your woman? Now that he's dead, I got revenge for you. There are no grudges between us." Elton turned to look fixedly at Sebastian.Elton had killed Hunter because he had no other choice. Technically, Hunter was still useful as long as they didn't have the Mirror of Rain. However, Elton was terrified because if Sebastian did not let him, he wouldn't be able to escape Neo Ravine. Although Lyanna had u
The corpse puppet, which had dissolved into a pile of bones, had also disappeared.Hunter was pointing a gun at Elton's head. As for Elton, he was holding a slippery heart in his hand, but it wasn't Hunter's. It was the corpse puppet's. He had killed his own corpse puppet.Sebastian was holding a long sword and looking impassively at him.Elton looked up at the scarlet sky. The spell was still intact. Everything that had just happened must have been an illusion.Even Gary, who had come back, couldn't help swallowing. He couldn't believe what he had just seen!Elton was standing there, looking like an absolute fool as he rushed over to the corpse puppet and pulled out its heart.As a result, he had severed the connection between himself and the corpse puppet, which fell to the ground with a thump. Elton had pointed at the corpse puppet and prattled at it for a while.Lyanna hadn't even lifted a finger. Elton had played out the whole thing on his own. Hunter had watched as E
Elton was furious with what Gary had said.They hadn't even started the fight yet. How did Gary know that Elton would not be able to defeat Sebastian? How could he have the audacity to ask for the sword already?"No problem. That sword isn't of much use to me anyway." Sebastian grinned and stepped forward.Elton held the long sword and flourished it as he also took a step forward. He wasn't confident in facing Sebastian. However, it wasn't that he had no confidence in his own abilities. It was just that Lyanna was too much of an unknown factor. She could make him hallucinate at any moment.When it came to fights at close quarters, a moment's distraction could lose him his life. And if hallucinations were added on top of that, it would be even harder for him to win."Go ahead." Sebastian smiled widely and shook Purity, and the valley glowed with a flash of lightning."Sebastian, if you use the art of illusion to kill me, I will never accept it, even in death," Elton said pointed
However, within the emerald pendant, there were two fish-shaped symbols swimming through it in an endless cycle. One was white, and the other was red.The glow had come from the white fish-shaped symbol."It's the Lumigo pendant!" Sebastian cried out in surprise.In the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals, there had been records of many kinds of celestial and even sacred treasures. The Lumigo pendant was one of the Ten Sacred Treasures.It was said that those who obtained this treasure could master light and dark energy and gain knowledge of the heavens and the earth.Could Elton have such a legendary treasure in his possession?"What's that, Mr. Ballard?" Gary craned his neck to look at the emerald pendant in Sebastian's hand. "It's just a piece of emerald. Nothing to get excited about," Sebastian lied casually.Beside them, Lyanna stared intently at the Lumigo pendant in Sebastian's hand. She knew more than anyone how valuable it was. It was a pioneering treasure in metempsychosis
After Sebastian took Whitney back to the pharmaceutical factory, Gary called over the apprentices that he had sent previously. After giving them a stern rebuking, he finally left with Sebastian.After the lesson they had learned, the eight apprentices were divided into two groups. One of them would shadow Whitney at all times to prevent a similar incident from happening again.Early the next morning, Zane was looking through his Instagram while eating breakfast. When he saw Sebastian walk into the dining room, he hastily held out his phone. "Look, Seb!"Sebastian turned to look, and Zane frowned as he said, "Why does this strange person look so familiar? I just can't remember where I've seen him before."Sebastian studied the face in the photo, and his heart sank. It was none other than Hunter! He had been looking right at the camera, and his features were crystal clear.However, Hunter's face was very swollen, and he walked like someone who had polio. In fact, the shoe on his lef
After all, no matter how many martial arts experts there were in an organization of assassins like the Slaughter Gods, they could never measure up to a proper sect.Besides, the Sword Towers was one of the most prestigious sects, and they were on the same level as that of the Warrior League."Oh? There are very few people who would still be alive for so long after offending the Slaughter Gods. It seems that he has an interesting background." There was a sudden, sharp gleam in Roy's rheumy eyes."That wouldn't be strange. In my opinion, he must be part of one of the mystic martial arts sects, and it's very likely that he's from one of the most prestigious sects. He's probably just been confined to the city until now."How could a third-rate organization of assassins like the Slaughter Gods be any match for someone like him?"Brendan scoffed disdainfully, adding, "If it had been Ethan, the Slaughter Gods would probably already be history."He didn't mean to belittle the Slaughter G
Roy's expression relaxed slightly upon seeing that Brendan had relented. At that moment, a maid who was carrying tea accidentally spilled it on him."Mr. Sloane Senior, I… I didn't do it on purpose," the maid said fearfully.Roy looked down at his suit and smiled faintly. "It's alright. We're not saints. Everyone's bound to make a mistake sometimes. I know you didn't mean to do it."The maid breathed a long sigh of relief.However, Roy suddenly flicked the paper fan he was holding. There was an icy flash, and the maid's legs were sliced off at the knee."Although none of us are saints, that is no reason for you to make mistakes as you wish." Roy's gaze sharpened as he said to the black-clad men waiting outside the door. "Drag her out and cut off her hands."The maid didn't even have time to plead for mercy before she was dragged outside by two black-clad men.Roy only stood from his seat when it was late at night, and he gazed out at the night sky through the window."Sebasti
"My lord, shall I go with you? I might be able to help," Lyanna said, smiling as brightly as a flower."Well…" Sebastian's brow furrowed tightly. He intended to prevent her from doing so.However, Rosalie was delighted with Lyanna's courteous behavior, so she interrupted before Sebastian could finish. "Sure! One more person means that we'll have more strength. Let's go, hurry!"Rosalie took Sebastian's arm and walked toward the car.Lyanna's footsteps were very light, and she got into the passenger's seat as quickly as a whirlwind. Rosalie couldn't help turning to look at Sebastian in shock. "She… she's Mike's apprentice and has some basics in martial arts," Sebastian explained casually.Rosalie nodded slightly. After getting into the back seat with Sebastian, she said to the driver, "Hurry, drive."As the car drove into the neighborhood of villas in the western suburbs of Sunway, Lyanna's expression changed slightly. Her brow wrinkled as she said, "There's death energy!"Se
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
